After doing beamforming there are two files besides the NAI ones, a
*spheres.txt and *transform.txt files. My question is which is the
purpose of these files. What do they represent?
Many thanks.

Are there any useful rules of thumb about what the critical cluster size should be in reporting results.
I have a results with a cluster size of 1 that reaches the 2.3 threshold.
(i) this cant be a real ROI - can it?
(ii) why is the critical z val set at 2.3 anyway?
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks
Philip.

*Vacancy Ref: PJ07992*
* *
*Salary: £27,428 - £35,788 pa*
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral researcher to develop,
implement, and analyse MEG studies investigating cognitive and motor
abilities across the adult life-span for an interdisciplinary BBSRC
funded research project (Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience
(Cam-CAN) www.cam-can.com). This collaborative project involves
researchers in a number of University of Cambridge Departments and at
the MRC-Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit.
The applicant will be based in the Centre for Speech, Language and the
Brain, Department of Experimental Psychology, led by Professor Lorraine
K Tyler. The post-holder will be expected to interact frequently with
members of the CSLB and other members of the Cam-CAN team. The Centre
has access to a research-dedicated 3T Siemens MR scanner, EEG and MEG
facilities housed at the MRC-CBU.
Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant discipline and experience in
MEG imaging analysis, particularly connectivity in both sensor and
source space. Excellent computer programming (MATLAB and/or Python) and
MEG analysis (SPM, Fieldtrip) skills are essential. A background in
cognitive neuroscience, particularly ageing, would be beneficial.
/Closing date: 4 May 2011, Start date: 1 October 2011/
/Limit of tenure: The funds for this post are available for one year in
the first instance, with a possibility to extend for a further two-three

Dear colleagues,
The Max-Planck Society and University College London recently launched a
joint initiative in Computational Psychiatry & Aging. This program
currently offers a number of open postdoctoral positions (application
deadline: 31 March 2011). We would be grateful if you could forward
the information below to students in your department who may have an
interest in applying for these positions.
With many thanks and my very best wishes,
Klaas
Max Planck Society – University College London
Joint Initiative in Computational Psychiatry and Aging
The Max Planck Society (MPS) and University College London (UCL) are
launching a joint initiative, funded by contributions from MPS and UCL,
commencing in May 2011 (for details, see
www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/research-initiative-mps-ucl
<http://www.mpibberlin.mpg.de/research-initiative-mps-ucl>). The
initiative will involve laboratories including the Max Planck Institute
for Human Development (Berlin) and the Max Planck Institute for
Cognitive and Brain Sciences (Leipzig), in Germany, and the Wellcome
Trust Centre for Neuroimaging (London) and the Gatsby Computational
Neuroscience Unit (London) in the UK. The goal of the initiative is to
develop novel neuroscience approaches to understanding psychopathology
and cognitive aging that exploit computational and mechanistic
perspectives. We are seeking applicants for a number of post-doctoral
positions with an interest or background in computational neuroscience
who would like to use such approaches to understand psychiatric
disorders and cognitive aging.
The applicants should forward their CVs to Helena Maravilla
(MPSUCL(a)mpib-berlin.mpg.de), Max Planck Institute for Human Development,
Lentzeallee 94, 14195 Berlin, Germany. The deadline for the first round
of applications is March 31, 2011.

Dear all,
The university Science Trail will be on tomorrow. As per usual, YNiC
will be taking part.
Availability of Open Plan will not be affected, however, there may be
background noise from excitable secondary school students between 10 am
and 3 pm.

I've just come across pubbrain.org. It looks like a fantastic tool for
cognitive neuroscience.
Search for a term (e.g. "working memory") and find out how many PubMed
papers have referred to different brain regions (a "heat map" is provided),
together with a list of citations. For example, Pubmed find 161 papers
linking "working memory" and "inferior frontal gyrus". Of course this is
only the first step in understanding the brain basis of a given function,
but I think it should be very useful for gaining a quick overview.

Dear Users
Today (4.30-5.30 pm in YNiC) there will be a YNiC project proposal
presentation given by Koulla Mikellidou.
The title of Koulla's talk is "Neural correlates of the Helmholtz's
squares illusion".
Everyone is welcome to attend.

Dear Users
Today (4.30-5.30 pm in YNiC) there will be a talk on "Demonstrating
functional connectivity between brain regions using MEG" given by
myself, Muriel Lobier and Andy Ellis.
This talk will take the form of a journal club to discuss connectivity
measures in MEG in the context of a paper by Alex Clarke, Kirsten Taylor
and Lorraine Tyler [Clarke, A., Taylor, KI and Tyler, LK. (in press).
The evolution of meaning: Spatio-temporal dynamics of visual object
recognition. J. Cogn. Neurosci. ].
The paper can be downloaded from Lorraine Tyler's website:

Everyone is welcome to attend.
Best wishes

Hi,
We have recently made some changes to the booking system for MEG to
bring it more into line with the MRI system.
"Operator Slots" have been re-introduced into the MEG system in line
with the practice for MRI. These slots will disappear from the system
2 working days beforehand. All projects which can book MEG with YNiC
provided operators will therefore be able to book in the same way that
they can for MRI, but with a slightly longer notice period (2 days
instead of 1).
The following is a list of times of the week when operators will be
available:
Monday 0930-1130 and 1330-1630
Tuesday 1330-1530
Wednesday 0900-1200
Thursday 0900-1200 and 1300-1600
Friday 1100-1600
Projects with their own operators can continue to book the scanner at
any time they require (subject to any other restrictions such as number
of hours per week).
If there are any questions about this procedure, please contact
reception(a)ynic.york.ac.uk
Thanks,
Mark
